If list expansion happens on your server, you can implement standard
list management methods (an envelope sender address that is a list
bounce-parser that uses VERP).

If you are simply forwarding mail to an already expanded list, there
is not much you can do. The list management problem is upstream, and
needs to be handled there.
We simply alias
$user $u...@$othermailserver
The $users we forward to are known by our mail server and no mail will
forward otherwise. I cannot think of a scenario which rejected mail from
$othermailserver would be anything other than UCE in this case. The
fringe issues would be a borked config which reject because of
misconfiguration on their end which would result is lost mail if we drop
all rejects from $othermailserver.
What scenarios could occur which would make dropping these rejects a bad
idea?
